Huesca’s economy is diverse, with agriculture historically being one of its primary industries. The fertile lands surrounding the city produce a variety of crops, including cereals, olives, and grapes, which contribute to the local food and wine scene. More recently, tourism has become an important driver of the local economy, with visitors drawn to the city’s historical attractions and proximity to the Pyrenees.
Huesca also has a growing tech sector, thanks in part to the establishment of the Walqa Technology Park, which fosters innovation and business development. The park is home to several companies in fields such as telecommunications, renewable energy, and software development. Additionally, the city supports a variety of small businesses, including craftspeople who continue to produce traditional goods, such as ceramics and textiles.
Local gastronomy, driven by the region’s agricultural products, plays an important role in the economy as well, with Huesca’s restaurants and food markets attracting gourmets from near and far.
